About twitterapi.io

twitterapi.io is an independent third-party API for reading public social data from X, explicitly not affiliated with X Corp, aimed at developers and AI agents that need tweet, profile and follower data without going through the official platform tiers. The pitch is speed and price: it advertises 1,000-plus requests per second, sub-second responses, and published latency figures of 251ms at P50 and 327ms at P90 on its own status strip. Endpoints cover advanced tweet search with query syntax, user profiles, followers and following lists, follower IDs, and a streaming interface with filter rules for continuous collection. Access is by a simple API key header, and there is a Claude MCP integration alongside the cURL and Python examples, which is a direct signal about who the intended buyer is — agent builders who want social data available as a tool call rather than as a data pipeline they maintain. The commercial model is genuinely pay-per-use rather than seat-based: you are billed per thousand items retrieved, with volume tiering that makes bulk collection dramatically cheaper per item, and an optional subscription that stacks a recharge bonus and monthly credit return on top of the same per-call rates. New accounts get $0.10 in free credits with no card.
